Bell Pepper Nacho Bites

Sweet potato nachos are one way to do it, but if you’re aiming for a lower-carb variation, mini peppers make an equally tasty base for all the fixings, and with a much lower total carb count. Fill them up with ground beef, onions, tomatoes, garlic, and spices, and have at it!

If you’ve never bought mini bell peppers before, they aren’t the same thing as hot peppers. They might be the same size as jalapeños or banana peppers, but they taste like any other bell pepper and they’re not spicy at all. Of course, you could use spicy peppers for this if you really wanted that mouth-tingling punch, but it’s not necessary.

Top the peppers off with a sprinkle of crunchy green onions and tomatoes, and then throw on some guac or salsa. A tray of these would be a fun appetizer, but you could also serve a few mini peppers as the main protein at a meal, especially for kids.
